MR. DOSTOEVSKY AMAZES ME. HE SEES
WITHIN A MADMAN LIKE NO ONE ELSE HAS. TO BE MAD SEEMS SO FEASIBLE AND EVEN
CORRECT. HE MAKES ME FEEL SYMPATHETIC, I (TOO) HAVE HAD FEELINGS OF HANGING
OVER THE PRECIPICE TO INSANITY; BEFORE THIS I WAS ASHAMED. NOW I FACE MYSELF
AND SEE CLEARLY; NO ONE IS UNIQUE TO SUCH A DEGREE.
